First of all, you have to create an account. It is very simple and fast.

Templates and select the one you want to use.

I finished my application, what is next?

Now you have to make sure that your application is ready for release. Go
to AppStore Properties. Make sure that your Application icon(57×57) is
identical with the iTunes icon(512×512) but in different sizes. Fill in
required information and click Save. Once you click on the submit button,
one of our iPhone developers will test your applictation and make sure it
works properly. If there are any broken links, buttons that don’t work or
content that doesn’t comply with Apple requirements we will reject it. Check
your app status on website to see when your application gets approved/rejected.

It takes on average 5-10 business days, however the process may take
longer. 5-10 days is just an estimate based on our past experience with
Apple’s review process. Please note that Apple does not provide any
timeframe estimate on how long the process may take. Max we’ve seen was 1
month. We’ll be responsible for fixing any technical issues. On your side we

data is stored on our server. Even if device has no internet connection, the
app will still work.

Does it work on Blackberry or Android?

Not on Blackberry, but we do submit to Android and Amazon AppStore for
Kindle Fire. We specialize in creating rich content native apps for iPhone
and Android too. We try to keep these technologies separate, i.e. if you
want a single app to be submitted to both markets then you have to duplicate
